Paula Findlay has been virtually unstoppable since she was the surprise winner of the 2010 Dextro Energy World Championship Series race in London, which she followed by winning Kitzbühel, Austria, finishing fifth at the 2010 Grand Final in Budapest with the second-fastest run of the day, and then winning every single World Championship Series race she has entered so far in 2011. A phenomenal runner, the course in London will suit Findlay well. As of right now, she is many pundits’ pick for gold.
